Job creation is up. Unemployment is down.
Hot on the heels of a very strong 3rd Quarter GDP report (+3.0%); The
November Jobs Report was released a few days ago and it revealed that employers
created 203K jobs last month -- well above the 188K expected. The
Unemployment Rate fell to a 5-year low of 7%. The general consensus now
is that the Fed will have no choice but to begin tapering sooner than
later…
Here are the rates as of Dec. 6th:
| CONFORMING RATES ($200,000 - $417,000) 0 POINTS • 30 Year Fixed: 4.625% (4.70% APR) • 5/1 ARM: 3.125% (3.20% APR) |
JUMBO RATES ($625,501 - $2,000,000) 0 POINTS • 30 Year Fixed: 4.500% (4.55% APR) • 5/1 ARM: 3.000% (3.05% APR) |
